[QUOTE="GvZ, post: 5464449, member: 592927"] I had no idea there was a Sci-Fi and Fantasy sub-forum here. I was involved in a discussion about a fictional weapon heating the atmosphere to create a warm front and wanted to quantify how hot a heat source would have to be to heat the atmosphere 4,000 radii away by 10 K. I know this wouldn't make any sense in real life, but I was wondering if this method could work to get a reasonable estimate or a minimum for the hypothetical temperature. Should I move to that sub-forum, or is it not accurate gauge heat source temperature this way? [/QUOTE]
